A glowing (maybe somewhat saccharine) report on the Canadian encryption company whose technology was licensed by Qualcomm last month has given a strong boost to the stock (I own some) of Certicom over the past two days. Here is part of it from a post on SI's Certicom thread --http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=12490869 The company has signed approximately 150 licensing agreements to date and approximately 50 of the licensees have visible products that are in the market or will soon be launched. A significant portion of these licensing agreements involve wireless devices and solutions, which has become Certicom's key focus. The market for ecommerce is expected to grow to 1.2 trillion by 2003 (IDC, 1998) with wireless ecommerce representing US$66 billion. We believe that security has become a critical component for all applications and transactions and will become an important part of the computing infrastructure required to facilitate the growth in ecommerce revenues. International Data Corporation (IDC) has estimated that worldwide PKI revenues (of which encryption is a critical component) will grow from US$122.7 million in 1998 to $1.3 billion by 2003. We believe that Certicom is uniquely positioned to become the standard encryption provider for the global computing platform. This is especially true for wireless applications. Encryption requires memory and processing power that most mobile devices including phones and PDA's do not have.Certicom's competition has bulky algorithms that can take minutes to encrypt messages on devices with minimal processing power. Certicom's algorithms are a fraction of the size of their competition and are ideally suited for use with wireless devices. The Certicom logo is prominently displayed on every Palm VII shipped. We believe the Certicom name has now become a trusted brand that is synonymous with security. White papers on the technology --http://www.certicom.com/ecc/wpaper.htm clear up the technical inadequacies of the analyst's presentation, especially regarding competitors' code and the definitive power and efficiencies of elliptical code cryptography. Without the resources to investigate CIC's patents, it seems reasonable to assume that they are at the core, given the number and quality of the partners.
